This is a Sources Sought Notice announcement; market survey for information only, to be used for preliminary planning purposes. No proposals are being requested or accepted with this synopsis. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS AND NO CONTRACT SHALL BE AWARDED FROM THIS NOTICE. Any requests for a solicitation in response to this notice will not be honored. The Medical Readiness Contracting Office – West Fort Cavazos, TX, has an upcoming requirement to solicit for and award a supply contract to provide Lumenis Stellar M22 and ReSurFx equipment for Irwin Army Community Hospital - Fort Riley, KS. This request is anticipated to result in a Firm Fixed-Priced contract. The type of solicitation to issue will be based upon the responses to this synopsis. Contact with Government Personnel, other than the person identified at the bottom of this notice, by any potential offeror, or their employees’, regarding this requirement is strictly prohibited.

The Stellar M22 ™ is used to treat different indications in different skin types, age, and gender.

The ResurFX laser is a non-ablative laser that stimulates the skin to develop collagen without harming any tissue. ResurFX is also a fractional laser, which means that the laser light that is delivered to the skin is divided into “microcolumns”.

The Lumenis devices have an integrated smoke evacuator in the system which eliminates the need for changes to the room, or an external smoke evacuator. This is important due to the plume that is produced during treatment, which can be toxic to not only the patient but also the treatment provider. The built-in smoke evacuator will ensure more safer and comfortable treatments for the patients by absorbing the plume and making sure it does not escape into the treatment room. These devices also have a built-in dual cooling system that combines cryo-touch and cryo-air which is designed to deliver cold air exactly over the laser beam treatment area which helps actively remove heat from the patient’s tissue that is being treated. This helps with patient comfort, safety, and prevents burning during treatment. Other devices use Cryogen which is a disposable that needs to be replaced and is costly. They also have the largest spot size and first and only square spot size on the market, which helps limit overlapping during the treatment. Other devices use a circular spot size which misses areas of the skin during treatment. The provider then must overlap the area to make sure patient receives full treatment. Overlapping can potentially increase the risk of excessive thermal damage to double treated skin areas.

The required items consist of the following:
